1
00:00:00,480 --> 00:00:07,200
So, the cameraman suggested that I unbox these two processors together because

2
00:00:04,240 --> 00:00:14,160
they're very similar, but I said no. This is going to be the unboxing of the

3
00:00:08,960 --> 00:00:17,119
Intel Core i7 875K LG 1156 processor.

4
00:00:14,160 --> 00:00:21,039
This is, as I mentioned in my NCX tech tips episode about overclocking this

5
00:00:19,279 --> 00:00:27,840
chip, one of the coolest things out of Intel in probably forever. This thing is

6
00:00:24,320 --> 00:00:30,080
so sweet because it is unlocked. Now,

7
00:00:27,840 --> 00:00:34,559
unlike AMD, Intel hasn't really figured out the performance cool looking box.

8
00:00:32,719 --> 00:00:38,160
They've still got their standard blue and gray box, but that's their corporate

9
00:00:36,480 --> 00:00:41,760
colors. No, no, there are scissors here. Cameraman's trying to hand me a pen to

10
00:00:39,680 --> 00:00:45,120
open the box, but I had a plan already. I was I was checking over there for the

11
00:00:43,440 --> 00:00:48,879
scissors actually while I was doing the introduction for this video. So, okay,

12
00:00:47,200 --> 00:00:53,120
here we have a look at what it features. So, Intel Turbo Boost technology, Intel

13
00:00:51,120 --> 00:00:58,640
hyperthreading technology, smart cache, integrated memory controller, dual

14
00:00:54,960 --> 00:01:00,399
channel DDR3, LG 1156 socket, and this

15
00:00:58,640 --> 00:01:04,879
this is a new one. I haven't seen this on a retail chip from Intel except their

16
00:01:02,719 --> 00:01:09,760
mobile processors. Thermal solution required. This tiny box does not include

17
00:01:07,840 --> 00:01:13,520
a heat sink. You have to get your own heat sink. Oh, graphics card required.

18
00:01:11,840 --> 00:01:18,080
That's a cryptic thing for them to put on the uh side of the processor box, but

19
00:01:16,320 --> 00:01:23,920
I guess their their dual cores do include a graphics core if you have an

20
00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:25,840
H55 board. Okay, fine. Touche, Intel.

21
00:01:23,920 --> 00:01:29,200
Touche. So, let's see what we've got included here. We got a regular Core i7

22
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:33,439
badge. I wouldn't have minded seeing like an unlocked edition or something on

23
00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:36,880
there, but it is what it is. Three-year limited warranty. Now, this is a cool

24
00:01:34,880 --> 00:01:42,079
one, too, because it used to be you had to use a standard Intel OEM heat sink in

25
00:01:39,759 --> 00:01:45,840
order to even qualify for their 3-year warranty on a retail chip. Now, you

26
00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:51,360
don't because they're requiring you to use a different one. Um, yeah, a little

27
00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:56,640
bit more on Intel not including a uh a heat sink. This is the standard LG 1156

28
00:01:54,479 --> 00:02:01,680
heat sink. This thing sucks. This thing is designed for overclocking, and this

29
00:01:59,439 --> 00:02:06,560
is not good for overclocking. So, as far as I'm concerned, you're not losing out

30
00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:11,520
on anything by them not including this thing because you just throw it away

31
00:02:08,319 --> 00:02:14,720
anyway. So, here is the CPU itself.

32
00:02:11,520 --> 00:02:16,879
Okay, it is a quad core. It runs at 2.93

33
00:02:14,720 --> 00:02:20,959
GHz. It has 8 megs of cache. And I'm going to go ahead and take it out here.

34
00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:24,800
Other than the fact that Intel's worked their magic special sauce into the

35
00:02:22,959 --> 00:02:28,400
inside to make it unlocked, which means you can adjust the multiplier up and

36
00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:33,680
down, you do not have to adjust the base clock in order to overclock this chip.

37
00:02:30,319 --> 00:02:36,080
It is the same as the i7870.

38
00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:40,160
So, it has 1,156 pads on the bottom and it has turbo

39
00:02:38,239 --> 00:02:44,080
boost and all that good stuff. Now, the one really, really cool thing about this

40
00:02:42,319 --> 00:02:47,920
besides just regular overclocking, unlocked overclocking, which we've had

41
00:02:45,920 --> 00:02:52,000
on AMD Black Editions as well as Intel Extreme Editions for quite some time is

42
00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:56,400
the fact that you can overclock using turbo boost. And you should check out my

43
00:02:53,519 --> 00:02:59,519
my uh video on my NCIXCOM channel to show you exactly how to do that. So,

44
00:02:58,160 --> 00:03:02,760
thank you for checking out my unboxing of the i7875K.
